The food was some of the best we’ve had in Detroit. We especially recommend the chips and side salsas, tlayuda, tetela, and enchiladas! We will definitely be returning.“

“Absolutely 100% recommend Nemo’s! We’re here for tigers opening day and I am breastpumping. I asked if they had a room I could pump, although they didn’t have a secluded area for me, they let me pump in this back area. Thankfully I had a wearable pump so you can’t see anything but one of the bartenders brought me a water & a hotdog and was just the sweetest man. Truly thankful for their hospitality! So very sweet! Above and beyond!“

“Great 'dive' bar with real good food and an exceptional jukebox.“

“Paramita Sound in Detroit is a vibe. The DJ was spinning smooth jams all night, creating the perfect laid-back atmosphere. Picked up 5 killer records while I was there—great selection and even better energy. A must-visit for music lovers!“

“Kelly's Bar has done it, reached the top tier, Smashing records with burgers that bring cheer. Double patties nestled in sesame embrace, Cheese, lettuce, onions, and sauce, a taste chase. Rex Packing's meat, a blend that's divine, Crafted with care, a true foodie's sign. Susan's verdict? The burger's a hit, But wait, there's more, a wings summit! Moist, crispy wings, a flavor affair, Cajun rub and Buffalo, a spicy pair. Lemon pepper adds its zesty grace, A feast for taste buds in every case. Broccoli cheddar bites, a friend's delight, Adding depth to this culinary flight. Corned beef egg rolls, a twist so fine, Crunchy, dainty shells, a unique design. Kelly's Bar, a haven of taste and glee, Where flavors dance and spirits roam free. A culinary journey, an epicurean play, Where every dish shines in its own way.“

“Bar of Legend;
those hallowed floors moaning secrets
Holding spirits within its wooden embrace.
Awesome Service, the platinum status of any DiveBar I've ever walked into.. from the OG rotary-phonebooth to even having a pool table.. NOT for the pinkie-in-the-air or wine drinker type of establishment.. absolute must!! 💯 visit for the authentic dive and historic bar connoisseur. Need to come back n hang with the cool bartender n maybe a ghost or 2 🍻👻 🍺“

“My go to venue for local shows!“

“The food is delicious and the service is fantastic! My only complaint is how loud the place has become. Not too long ago, it was more of a restaurant than a bar. Lately, however, it has become more like a noisy college bar than a restaurant. I still plan on coming here once in a while.“

“Staff is excellent! Awesome live venue.“

“Great atmosphere. Lots of activities to participate in. The owner is a great humanitarian for the community and enjoys suggesting and praising other restaurants. It’s always a great time with great food at reasonable prices.“

“played there on the 30th and had a great time. Staff was so friendly and helpful. All our friends had high praise. Can't wait til next show.“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“Best and most famous dive bar in Detroit. This place has been family owned for 100 years. It's very welcoming to whoever shows up. Straight, Gay, young, old weird or cool everyone hangs out here! No food besides chips. Its a block away from Little Caesar's Arena and across the street from The Masonic Temple (hence the name) so its perfect for a pre or post show round or two. Tell George and Larry that Perry's review sent you!“

“Had an amazing night here with friends! Great choices of cocktails and super knowledgeable/friendly staff! Shout out to Stefano for taking care of us last night! He was not only a great server but had so much knowledge. Cant wait to come back when I visit Windsor ☺️ highly recommend this place!“

“Pretty, pretty, pretty…pretty good. 🫶🏼“

“Great service ………………..“

“top notch entertainment and world class drinks“

“Been there two times now. Perfect neighborhood bar for folks in Brush Park. Food was very good and service was excellent. My wife and I are “Summer birds” . We reside in Arizona and reside in Brush Park when weather is good so it’s a perfect neighborhood place for a nightcap.“

“Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE BAR in the Detroit Metro area. August the bartender is one of the coolest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and knows how to pour a damn good drink. Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".“

“Awesome place. Full of fun for everyone. We’ll be back for sure!“

“If you love history, this place will not disappoint. Awesome views from the rooftop and the fireplace on a cold evening was the perfect place to have a cocktail. Make a reservation! Must visit if out with friends and you want a cool location to hang!!!“

“We celebrated our ten year anniversary and were surprised with a beautiful card at the table with lovely wishes from the restaurant. Dinner was fantastic, I recommend the filet and the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp is AMAZING! Before we left we were gifted a bottle of house champagne.“

“A fukkin fantastic bar with a great staff. I LOVE the classic movies playing constantly and only wish you had more t-shirts available. Anytime I'm in Detroit I find a reason to stop by.“

“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!“

“When you’re there, you’re home. Fun, warm local bar.“

“My Sister & Brother-In-Law hosted my Godson's Baptismal Luncheon at The Polka Dot. IT WAS PERFECT! The food was AMAZING. The kids loved the Original Nintendo System. The adults loved gathering around the bar. This venue will definitely be considered for all future family events.“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“Great place to be if you in the downtown area or if you want to have a different scene indoor/outdoor everyone that’s reading this they also carry this sauce called whoo wop sauce it’s a great all purpose sauce gluten free and pescatarian friendly leaving options open for whatever dish shop bodega market on brush !!!!“

“Howlers and Growlers had The Best French Fries!!!!“

“This place is a gem, albeit a small one. However, if you find yourself in the area it is most definitely worth checking out. Seemingly authentic Japanese brews along with some fusion-y food dishes. All the food we tried was exceptional, but the wagyu hot dogs were imo the best meat in tube form I’ve ever had. Sushi hot dog and balls were also phenomenal.“

“Friendly staff!! Quick service.“

“Great atmosphere and yummy food!“

“A group of about 10 of us stopped in on a Monday for happy hour - there was a nice crowd, music was playing, sparsely decorated. They have a great patio right on Woodward which is why we came, but it ended up raining. Although only one bartender was working, cocktails came out fast and tasted fresh and good. They have an interesting n/a mocktail made with homemade cordial and soda - I didn't try it this time, but it's good to know they have an option other than soda and lime. The aperol spritz looked good as did the spicy margarita. A good place to catch a quick drink.

They have an interesting food menu - sushi during the day and late night, and bbq for dinner. Maybe a little odd, but I remember when this place was Oslo and had the best sushi, so maybe it makes sense? I'll have to come back to try the food. Everyone working has also been really friendly, so I'd come back. An excellent location if you work downtown.“

“Beer selection is great - Much wider and deeper on the European choices (Belgians/Germans) than anywhere else I've seen locally and this is primarily what keeps us coming back, but the old-style wood room and the laid back atmosphere are great too. You could say divey or hipster, but also all-inclusive. Usually good more-modern indie music playlist which is appreciated. Chris was a great bartender but I think he's unfortunately moved on, will be missed. Spacious covered patio out back is good for smokers & has some fun games (cornhole, connect4, etc). Beware - the Peanuts are addictive!“

“Best beer bar, badasses and babes!“

“🙂👍 Liz, Ashley, and Buck do a great job!“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“
